Magic for Socialism

For more than 30 years, ventriloquist Ian Saville has been presenting his unique Marxist Magic show.

Whereas David Copperfield is content with little tricks like making the Statue of Liberty disappear, Ian Saville aims at the much more ambitious goal of making International Capitalism and exploitation disappear. True, he hasn’t quite succeeded, but he keeps on trying.

This is a funny, magical, thought-provoking and topical celebration of Socialism.

Nottingham Puppet Festival has been produced through a partnership between Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall Nottingham, City Arts and Nottingham Trent University. Nottingham Puppet Festival is supported through the National Lottery using public funding by Arts Council England and supported further by Nottingham City Council, Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature and Midlands3Cities.
